Hi Kaan,

One thing about scraping Google from your site is they can ban your IP. Unlike your home PC where you can easily change proxies, your site's IP is more permanent. Plus, the last thing you want to do is have Google ban your site's IP.

Also, Fatty is one of the more complex things here...But once you get used to it, it becomes a lot easier.

I have some "developer" licenses available, so you can sell sites made with Fatty. (But you can't sell Fatty itself). I've sold some sites for $650-$1000 without traffic, but it's been a while since I tried and not sure this could be repeated now...But something to think about.

And good job with the utf8!
